Osteopathy is a primary care profession focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation primarily of musculoskeletal disorders and the effects of these conditions on patients' general health.
Using many of the diagnostic procedures applied in general medical assessment, osteopaths seek to restore the optimal functioning of the body. Osteopaths' patient-centred approach to health and injury treatment/prevention means they consider symptoms in the context of the patient's full medical history as well as their lifestyle and personal circumstances.
Treatment consists of massage, mobilisation and gentle manipulative techniques as well as exercise and rehabilitation programmes.
